Hardened resin refers to resin that has cured and solidified to become a stiff and durable material. It is often used in various applications such as crafting, jewelry making, and woodworking due to its strength and clarity once cured.
Acetone will work fairly well to remove the polyester resin--until the resin sets. Trichloroethane (e.g., ZipStrip) will soften the cured resin, possibly enough to remove it. Always try it on an inconspicuous spot before you commit to treat the whole garment. I know of a guy who had to wear a towel home because the acetone turned his polyester trousers into what looked like snot when he soaked them.
Aqua resin is generally considered non-toxic once it has fully cured and dried. However, it's always a good idea to work with any resin in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct skin contact to prevent any potential irritation.
Without knowing the exact epoxy you want to use I would say no; some epoxies are extremely toxic when they are cured.
Yes, epoxy resin can be poured into a polymer glue mold, but it's essential to ensure that the mold is compatible with the resin. Some polymer glues can react with epoxy, potentially causing sticking or surface defects. It's advisable to use a mold release agent to prevent adhesion and facilitate easier removal of the cured epoxy. Always test a small area first to confirm compatibility.
Epoxy resin cannot be cured without hardener because the hardener is necessary to initiate the chemical reaction that causes the resin to harden and cure.
Dichloromethane or methylene chloride
Yes, resin can withstand heat to a certain extent, but it may soften or deform at high temperatures.
Hardened resin refers to resin that has cured and solidified to become a stiff and durable material. It is often used in various applications such as crafting, jewelry making, and woodworking due to its strength and clarity once cured.
Resin can be cured using UV light by exposing it to ultraviolet light, which triggers a chemical reaction that hardens the resin. This process is known as UV curing and is commonly used in industries such as 3D printing and manufacturing.
Epoxy resin can be cured using UV light by adding a photoinitiator to the resin mixture. When exposed to UV light, the photoinitiator initiates a chemical reaction that causes the resin to harden and cure quickly. UV light is able to penetrate the resin and activate the curing process, resulting in a strong and durable final product.

Yes, 2-part resin can be cured with UV light. UV light initiates a chemical reaction in the resin that causes it to harden and cure.
Acrylic will melt while resin doesnot although it may soften. Not sure, maybe the smell is different when they burn.
Not all resin can be cured with UV light. Some resins require different curing methods, such as heat or chemical catalysts. UV-curable resins are specifically formulated to cure when exposed to ultraviolet light.
To prevent resin from leaking out of wood, you can seal the wood with a clear finish or resin sealer. This will create a barrier that helps contain the resin within the wood. Additionally, you can also avoid exposing the wood to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, as these conditions can cause the resin to soften and leak.
Resin can be cured using UV light by exposing it to a UV light source for a specific amount of time. The UV light activates the chemicals in the resin, causing it to harden and cure.
